99.9% of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia
coli) on the speaker mesh of the earbuds in ten minutes while
charging. The UV-C LED function works only when the charging
case is connected to the power cable.
- For best result, it is recommended that the full 10 minutes of
UV-C LED operation be performed while charging.

Additional Information
1. Radio frequency exposure
This Bluetooth LG Stereo Headset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation it
communicates with a Bluetooth-equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency
(RF) electromagnetic elds (microwaves) in the frequency range 2402 to 2480 MHz. Your Bluetooth
headset is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure guidelines and limits set by national
authorities and international health agencies when used with any compatible LG Electronics mobile
device.
2.
Bluetooth
Connection Precautions
The following environments affect the range and reception of Bluetooth signals:
- When walls, metal, human bodies, or other obstacles exist between the Bluetooth device and the
connected device
15
ENGLISH
- When equipment that uses 2.4 GHz frequency signals (Wireless LANs, wireless phones, microwave
ovens, etc.) is placed near the devices being used
- When using a Bluetooth device (TV, laptop, etc.) other than the mobile phone, the sound quality may
be affected by the specications and performance of the device
3. Potentially explosive atmosphere
Power off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although
this is uncommon, your electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or re resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
4. Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
This Bluetooth headset and the electronic device connected to the headset operate using radio
signals, mobile and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee
connection under all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any electronic device for
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Remember, in order to make or receive calls,
the headset and the electronic device connected to the headset must be powered on and in a service
area with adequate mobile signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all mobile phone
networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider.
5. Battery information
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new battery or one that has not
been used for a long period of time could have reduced capacity the rst few times it is used.
Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above +50°C (+122°F) or below -10°C
(+14°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery at room temperature. If the battery is
used in low temperatures, the battery capacity will be reduced. The battery can only be charged in
temperatures between 0°C (+32°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
16
ENGLISH
6. Recycling the battery in your
Bluetooth
headset
The battery in your Bluetooth headset must be disposed of properly and should never be placed
in municipal waste. The LG Electronics service partner who removes the battery will dispose of it
according to local regulations.

Important Safety Information
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your headset at a high volume.
Set the volume to a safe level. Over time you can become accustomed to a higher volume that may
sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.
If you experience ringing in your ears or mufed speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked.
The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use the headset at high volume.
• Avoid increasing the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Decrease the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
Using headsets safely
Use of headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some
areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop using this device if you nd it disruptive or distracting
while operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full attention.
